“Shyla was very reliable stopping in to care for my 6 cats. I didn't worry at all, except that 4 of them wouldn't come out of hiding when she came! That's not unusual, though. She left the house clean and in order. Everything was done properly. She was good at communicating with me and sent some cute pictures. I am so happy I found her and have another trip coming up, so I hope she is available! Shyla, please let me know if there is anything that would make your visits easier or if you have any suggestions for me. Thank you!”
“Monica was again, able to provide 5-star sitter services for my Big Guy. Long walks, drop in visits, feedings, pictures and great communication. I would highly recommend her for pet care needs. Thank you again Monica, Ripley is so happy when you visit him!”
About: Hello! I study Vet Science at UW Madison and have extensive experience in both dog and cat humane societies, kennels, and have had dogs my whole life and cats for 3 years now. My dogs Jojo and Jagger are very energetic, and Indy is my tortie and the love of my life :) I tend to work weekends at my families business but can change my availability based on how familiar I get with your pet(s). I am always available to talk and will respond quickly to messages! I love to engage with pets and learn their body language, I will always have a ball or stick while walking your dog, but also understand when they need a break. My priority is making them feel as at home as possible, while earning experience in the field I love. I have patience for both cats and dogs, and will watch carefully to not over pet, play, or initiate with shy animals. Tell me more about your pet to help me help them be as comfortable as they can be!
About: Hello! My passion for animals had started at a young age. As a kid I would always be very active with the family dog doing new training tricks and going for walks. Now I have a rescue dog of my own, Lily, a 2 year old lab/Shepherd mix that I have trained and raised since she was 8 weeks old, I also have a 15 yo tuxedo cat, Frankie, that I rescued when she was 6yo. I have also rescued several cats and found forever homes for them. I have gone through a dog training classes through petco in 2024. 💖 I currently work part-time as a bartender a few times a week and don't have set days at the moment but I am looking for full time work sometime soon. Willing to be flexible as needed. I like to keep pets on their regular schedule as much as possible. I am flexible with the whatever the pet may need such as extra play time or just needing a cozy friend to be in the same room with!
About: I can’t remember a time in my life I haven’t been around animals. I’m comfortable with any animal big or small. I’ve owned hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, rats, dogs, cats, and many other pets. I volunteered at a cat shelter for multiple hours a week for over 5 years. I have fostered 13 kittens, some as young as a few days old. I now live with a dog, four cats, and too many small pets to count. I have pet-sat for friends and family, I ride at a barn, and I do little bits of training with our dog and cats. I am comfortable clipping cat nails and grooming. It makes no difference to me if the pet is young or old, big or small; I love them each. Save for Tuesday mornings and afternoons, I am available weekdays and weekends. My Friday and Saturday nights are not always free, but there can be exceptions. I’m a nature-loving girl, so I can take your pet on walks around your neighborhood or a park you know and love. I’m willing to play fetch or help keep your pet up-to-date on practicing its tricks and training. If your pet is the cuddling type, I can do so as well, and if it likes adventure, I have traveled all the way to Montana with my cat in the car.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments throughout my whole life. I have some experience assisting pets recovering from surgery, that require specific/scheduled care, and those who are physically healthy, but perhaps are just very slow to trust. I am more than happy to meet your pet where they are, and to assist with their needs as much as you are comfortable. Due to seasonal lay-offs at my workplace, I am currently available all throughout the day. I am happy to make trips throughout the day if needed, and/or multiple days throughout the week. I take my dog for regular walks, and am happy to do the same for yours. I also do my best to present a calm and controlled energy with animals, in an attempt to let them grow more comfortable with me at their own pace. I am prepared to be patient if your pets are more shy, and playful if they are more energetic and friendly. Every dog and cat is different, and I do my best to match their energy and respect their boundaries, while ensuring I am also meeting their needs.
“Shawn is reliable and communicates in a timely manner. This was our first time using Rover and Shawn came daily for 2 weeks for our cats. Our cat litter box and their dishes were as clean as we left them upon our return. We would definitely use Shawn again.”

As a nighttime caregiver and daytime special educator, I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and comfortable caring for others with different needs. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets the same care, attention, and love I give my own! I currently work part time and have a very flexible schedule! I’m available weekdays and weekends within a wide variety of times throughout the day and I’m always willing to work around your schedule. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and understand how important it is to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and supervision, and make sure your pet gets the care, exercise, and affection they need.

“Hannah was professional and responsive throughout the visits for our plethora of cats. She successfully navigated a power outage at our home and took the initiative to fill water bowls after their bubbler lost power. She communicated throughout the visit and did a great job, our cats were in good hands!”
“I wasn't sure what to expect from my two.. but everything was great! I love the pics and the "bathroom" updates. Joe is great with the "big one..Seamus" and the "little one" warmed up after she realized Joe had food...lol!”
About: I grew up with pets, I have 3 dogs my oldest one is 11. I watch over a friend's dogs as of right now. I'll be able to walk your dog however long you would need me to and make sure they have water and are fed if needed. If there's any messes I see around I'll clean them up. My friend has a cat and I love going over to his house to pet her. she's grown a liking to me and I have to her as well, I give her treats time to time and pet her a lot. I don't know how to clean a litter box. but I can definitely give your cat some quality time and play, feed the cat and make sure they have water.

“Heidi was great with our cat Sarge while we were away! I was confident he was in good hands. She helped administer his medications too and he was very happy all around when we got home. We will definitely rebook with her next time we go on a trip!”
About: My uncle bred certified schnauzers and I was always willing to lend a hand where needed. I also grew up around other breeds such as German Shepard, beagles, Shitzus, Great Pyrenees and many others. So I am fine with any size dog. I am off almost every weekend and have a lot of time on my hands during the day. I do this because currently I can’t have a dog so I plan on treating yours as my own. I will respect your home as if it’s my own. Shoot need a little clean up I will sure be down to do a little cleaning.
About: I’ve taken care of French bulldogs since I was 16 years old. I tend bond quickly with animals and have patience with animals that are aggressive or overly anxious. I’ve good with cats and dogs, as well as exotic pets like ferret's. I am currently working a full time job, and am also a college student dispite this I am quite good about time management. I care for my own cat and frequently help out with my sisters dogs that need to be walked and watched. When previously working for her I take the dogs for average of 3 walks one in the morning, then afternoon, then night. When it comes to pet care I will be able to do basically anything needed. If an animals needs to be put in the crate I am easily able to do so. If a pet were to get dirty I am good with cleaning if needed. I am a very determined individual who can cut stubborn animals nails if needed, but I also am good with animals who have issues. As I have experience with owning an aggressive dog myself.
“Aurora was very respectful, kind, and reliable. We had a very positive experience with her caring for our dog while we were on vacation! We would definitely recommend her and would request her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and birds since I was 12 years old. Neighbors, friends and family relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I also worked for a veterinarian for about 2 years and I am currently going to school to become a veterinary technician. I have a 1 1/2-year-old dog that I am currently training her to be a therapy dog. I am available 7 days a week while working full-time Monday thru Friday. I’ll be able to pet sit in your home. Check out my calendar to see what days I’m not currently booked. In my clients' homes, I give the animals all of my attention and follow any special directions the client leaves for me. I am a firm believer in leaving things better than how I found them, so I am always sure to clean up, lock up, use common sense, and follow proper & appropriate protocol and instruction.
About: Stephanie developed her passion for dog training after adopting her third dog, Lance from a local shelter. He ended up having many behavior issues, leading Stephanie down this path. She read as many books and attended as many seminars as she could about dog training and behavior in order to help him.

He was one of those life changing dogs. Stephanie started nose work in 2010 and was hooked from day one. She is a CNWI who recently retired her original nose work dog Logan and is now competing with her third nose work dog Leena and working on her fourth dog Livvy. Along with nose work, she is our reactivity specialist. She is always eager to learn and gain more knowledge about dogs.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sturtevant stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sturtevant choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Sturtevant with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
